uin	HL13565
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2019 answer text <p>This Government is clear that no-one should be criminalised simply for having nowhere to live and sleeping rough.

The Government believes that review of the 1824 Act, rather than immediate wholesale repeal, is the right course of action to ensure the consequences of repeal are fully understood. My policy officials are currently developing the terms of reference for the review.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 18/02/2019 15:53:01 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment have they made of the case for introducing a nationwide registration of landlords and their properties in England, as in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
tabling member printed	Lord Bassam of Brighton
uin	HL13494
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2019 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to introduce a system of national registration for private landlords. Government is instead focussed on tackling rogue landlords. In April 2018, using powers under the Housing and Planning Act 2016, we introduced a national database of rogue landlords and property agents. We are committed to making this database publicly accessible as soon as parliamentary time allows.</p><p>Moreover, and unlike in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, local housing authorities in England are also able to introduce selective licensing of landlords in targeted areas to tackle specific problems, as long as the statutory requirements are met. We have commissioned an independent review of the effectiveness of selective licencing which is on track to report in the spring 2019.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 19/02/2019 17:15:46 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
